Geisel Library at UCSD is an architectural marvel, and if you search online you’ll find thousands of photos of this beautiful structure. Although I have two sisters that have graduated from UCSD, I’ve never taken the time to photograph the library! Today, I decided to kill two birds (three if you count Shot From the Edge) with one stone… take …
North Embarcadero, San Diego
North Embarcadero consists of a walking path and several small parking lots right along the San Diego Harbor, between the San Diego International Airport and Downtown San Diego. I just happened to be dropping my niece off at the airport one day late in the afternoon, and rather than deal with northbound traffic, I elected to snap a few shots …
W Palm St Pedestrian Bridge, San Diego
I’d seen photos taken from this bridge before, and was excited when my buddy Musa asked me if I wanted to go shoot it with him! The W Palm St pedestrian bridge is located right off of India Street near the San Diego Airport, and it was just a short walk onto the bridge before we were able to setup …
Miramar Overlook Park, San Diego
Sometimes beauty can be found in the simplest of places, often overlooked in one’s busy life. You can pass by it daily and never even notice it, caught up in monotonous thoughts of just living life. It can be difficult to remember to stop, look, appreciate, breathe and be thankful. I captured these images when I took a moment and …
Los Penasquitos Waterfalls, San Diego
After the heavy rain in San Diego yesterday (ahem…), I decided to take a little hike and capture the Los Penasquitos Waterfalls this morning. I have to admit, I took a shortcut (the hike was only about 1.5 miles instead of 3.5 miles!), but considering I was carrying my camera gear, I felt I deserved it! It was a muddy …
Christmas on Naples Island, Long Beach
Often (but not often enough), I do enjoy getting out to shoot photos just for myself. Photography is a very strong passion of mine, and I absolutelly love doing long exposure shots, night photography and capturing the contrast between light and dark. So after my wedding shoot in Long Beach last Christmas, Musa (my second cameraman for my wedding shoot) …
Flash Modifier Comparison
I picked up some new flash modifier equipment today, and wanted to run some tests to outline the different impacts and effects they had when shooting with them in harsh light conditions (like midday shoots). So I let Molly out of her bag (yes, I named my mannequin!), set her up, and performed some tests for everyone to compare! I …
Pier 32 Marina, National City
The Pier 32 Marina in National City is one of San Diego’s hidden gems. Tucked away off the industrial streets and roads in National City is this little oasis of a marina that’s a perfect venue for small weddings and events (i.e. 50-100 people). The venue provides a beautiful view of the marina, along with a nice pier that can …
Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, San Diego
Even though I was born and raised in San Diego, I had never heard of or been to the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge… how sad! It wasn’t until a wedding client of mine sent me a sample pic of the bridge to give me an idea of what she was looking for that I saw it, and then I just …
12/52 – Anza Borrego Desert State Park
12/52 – Anza Borrego Desert State Park. I was finally able to take a drive out to East San Diego County, through Julian and all the way out to the Anza Borrego Desert State Park. The idea was to stop and have breakfast with the niecees and nephews in Julian, and then head on out to checkout the desert super …
